Thank you! This is SO meaningful to me. I want to print it and share it with friends. I am 84 & this answers all my questions. So clear & so reassuring. In Liberia, WestAfrica, where we once lived in the bush, a deceased was wrapped in white cloths, covered in white chalk and folks mourned 3 days for women, 4 days for men. ( tradition) What about cremation? Many people choose this for cost reasons . As Ashes are scattered. Is this wrong? Just a thought Thank you! Blessings!
